“A tree just sat wherever it had grown, quietly drinking from the earth and immersed in its own sense of peace. It did not count days and months and years and decades at all. It lived by the seasons, and the changing rhythms of its heart. The soul of a tree knew how to just ‘be’, and by just being, gave shade and joy to everyone.”
